Civ3PTW / Windows 2000 Prof.

[madosca]

I play Civ3 PTW and sometimes the game is part of Windows (a window of the operating system) some others I have to exit the game to do anything else.

Could someone help?
It would be usefull to (always) be able to do something else while playing.

what i do is press the windows button (the one between alt and ctrl, forgot the name). that'll bring up the taskbar and you can do other things. i've never had civ3 (or PTW) in a window though...

I had a lot of problems with 2000 and civ... for some reason it kept on freezing... xp seems to be a much better platform for civ

I second that. People shouldn't be so quick to blame the operating system!

I play on Win2K Pro and XP Pro with out problem.

It is well that things are working for you, but I see so many people with Win2000 post about problems getting this game or that to work and I would guess that there are fewer 2000 gamers than XP or 98.
The fact is that Win2000 never intended to support DirectX/3d and so forth. This does not mean that a given game will not work in that OS, but it does make it more problematic.
